Glad he’s stepping out and showing his personality. New step in his career

[@brandosshow3026]

o yea for sure, i’m loving Money motivated Moicano. just on point

[@goofygoof212]

he cant even crack top 10 so theres really no point

[@DC-Supreme]

@@goofygoof212 he’s was ranked in the top 5 at one point in featherweight

[@JRsmith.]

I would say the performance against RDA is whats allowing him to do this

[@theboogeyman9813]

Moicano this, Moicano that, Moicano hit you with a baseball bat.

[@EchoZuluPapaKilo]

Renato and Borruchina on a podcast would be the stuff of legends

[@ETS186]

Has to be in English too

[@Xtreme808machine]

someone get this idea to paulo Costa, dude would def be down!

[@afkaustin]

[@tylermcwethy1813]

He stole the show. Amazing interview and amazing how hes opened up so much and gotten very comfortable with his English.

[@Mini-14_Attorney_at_Law]

He gave that epic interview and then they gave the bonus to Alex and Zhang!

[@Lamebred.]

@@Mini-14_Attorney_at_Law Never ask for a bonus, they just never get it when they ask.

[@drunkenmmamaster419]

Fr one of the best interviews Ariel has done , Ariel really does care about the no names in mma and gives them a big platform to speak Ariel might be a bit much sometimes but he truly cares about the fighters

[@drunkenmmamaster419]

@@peco3806 absolutely, but no they give bonuses to Dustin and Chandler who are already pretty well paid it's so dumb

[@KyleS.1987]

I have so much respect for people who not only learn a second language, but then get on a mic and speak that language in front of the world. Although I guess if you fight in a cage for a living, maybe talking doesn't seem so scary.

[@JonJon-pj9ly]

What a character, what a dude. Crazy personality and charisma. Had no Idea this dude was like this when he fought RDA. Superstar incoming.

[@theboogeyman9813]

Moicano this, Moicano that, Moicano hit you with a baseball bat.

“Moicano wants money”

[@tannermcguire7713]

Bro that line sold it

[@ConversationsWithUncleKevin]

This guy is breath of fresh air

[@adamwhitehead1253]

Renato is hilarious. This interview is gold!

[@mjmcg73]

Greatest post fight interview I've ever heard. By far. Not even close. I got to hear it uncensored live and it was just so amazing

[@mikeschafer4440]

I was waiting for Joe to come in and say sorry we can't talk like that on TV hahah

[@badz4855]

100 percent

[@paraplegicpapi]

His English is better than he thinks, respect to anyone who can pick up a 2nd language as an adult and speak it fluently💯

[@fernandomaron87]

I agree, i teach English here in Brazil and it's very hard for a brazilian to learn English, i know very intelligent people who are marvels on their areas and they can't say a word in English. Props to Renato.

[@melgibsonsinternalrage2924]

Renato Moicano has been a hardcore fans delight and sleeper to casuals for too long. He’s always has good fights and as of late he’s really turned another corner and leveled up. Glad he’s finally getting some shine definitely earned and well deserved.

[@kingshighway123]

Considering how he learned English his post fight interview was heavily self censored. Amazing

[@meatfractals3380]

It really makes you appreciate how hard it must be for UFC fighters who speak English as their second language.

[@deadpool8465]

He learned English from call of duty online 😂explain why he swear so much

[@Satsuionly]

Ikr he’s a legend they taught him well. “I approve”.😅

[@sallgoodman2323]

He's talking trash, swearing like a natural. He's gonna need a Call of Duty sponsorship.

[@user-ii3zm4it4h]

@@Satsuionly "I jizzapprove" - Paulo "Secret Juice" Costa

[@cesarherrera2540]

This is a man who does not fear being ridiculed and understands how finite his career is! Can’t wait to see moicano next fight

[@Cub__]

💯

[@P0ETICsin]

He's a cool dude . Top post fight interview of 2022

[@TheRogi22]

Many people don't understand how hard it is to learn a foreign language at that age, respect for that!

[@mikeschafer4440]

If he was my teamate in Call of Duty and we were talking through the headset id never picture him to be such a savage by just the voice

[@stacks3892]

"MOICANO WANTS B FLAG"

[@eba0202]

thats funny af you can tell he learned his english on cod😂😂

[@michaelplace4754]

Can’t wait for him to blow up Iv know he’s been special and super underrated

[@matthewthompson7012]

13:40 "CLAPPED, COME ON, ON GOD" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@diegopoli8495]

such a hero

[@sallgoodman2323]

Dude. Renato's English has gotten far better than even when I last heard him speak. His inflections throughout his post fight speech, this interview are far more natural. War Moicana is coming.

[@OficialCarva]

Moicana? that means he's a woman haha not a problem with, but he's not lol.. I know it was a typo but I laughed. Cheers!

[@kenwoods9247]

Can't wait to see "War Moicano!"

[@drunkenmmamaster419]

This dude became one of my favorites. He's a true bad ass stepping in on short notice and going to war with RDA for 5 rounds I hope he gets the big fights he wants and deserves he's a fun personality and never in boring fights , this is another reason why the rankings are meaningless

[@nickk7425]

Learning English was a good move for this guy! He is gonna be a big star

[@forrestrooney7821]

Lmao Ariel asking him to keep up the 3rd person is gold 🤣

[@eiremiascall9268]

His english is really good for a person who learned in the gym and online 👏

[@marianatequiero28]

Moicano 😊, my favorite fighter after the RDA fight but even more now after this interview

[@mojo1829]

This guy is great on the mic. One of the best

[@chandthrukanagarajah]

Love this guy. Amazing interview and charisma!

[@YourMakingMeNervous]

I was salty because I really like Brad Riddell but this interview really made me like Moicano lol

[@marvinho9787]

these brazillians with their clapped english are the best, on god!!!

[@DK-hw7is]

Dude is legit funny and smart, can't wait for his next fight.

[@Mini-14_Attorney_at_Law]

He's like the third person I know that learned fluent English from video games.

[@mikeschafer4440]

Maybe I should join Spanish lobbys or something. Been wanting to learn Spanish

[@ricardooliveira9774]

It's because you create an environment and force yourself to understand it, specially when the game is in English, for example. How are you going to make the quests if you can't understand the dialogues? But the technical term is "comprehensible input".

[@iFaFo_0]

Really loving all these dudes having way more personality its amazing!

[@quintinfink12]

Love dudes energy

[@Turppa21]

His distance management got so good, very impressive to put that w his striking skills

[@TipTopTie]

i loved this interview. Moicano is funny af!

[@Trevlee74]

His laugh is tremendous.

[@osatoharuna]

that post fight interview was legendary, the dude definitely earned alot of fans that night

[@somerandomperson8282]

I absolutely love this guys character, he is so likeable and honest. I am a fan of very few fighters characters, but this guy is is an exception. I will cheer this guy from now on!

[@donnypotsmoker]

Endless props to these guys who get it and actually go as far as to learn another language.

[@ogLogLogLogL]

Wish you'd spoken about the actual FIGHT more, as well! He looked fantastic.

[@guadalupecorrales67]

Moicano is on his way! Superstar coming!

[@eviegas77]

Moicano, tu é foda!!! Tomara que consiga os milhões que você está pedindo, merece demais!👊

[@sallgoodman2323]

This was an awesome interview!!

[@podunkis]

It's always amazing to see a person "emerge" as they learn a new language. It's almost impossible to avoid seeing a person as somewhat simple or clumsy as they initially struggle with the simplest phrases. I'm guilty of that even though I know what it's like to go through the process (I learned German many years ago but have forgotten much of it, unfortunately). The inability to be expressive or communicate with any subtlety is quite frustrating, and becoming proficient is difficult and time consuming. Doing interviews requires a lot of confidence, but at the same time, Renato will have a well documented video history of his progress. I think that would be pretty cool.

[@trinidaddy]

Your first sentence captures the sentiment perfectly. It's no coincidence that Renato moicano and paulo costa are more fresh in the minds of mma fans than charles oliveira or figureido, despite the accomplishment differences between the two pairs.

[@uqbahkabir7864]

This is such a great interview.

[@HellfireDiarrhea]

This man is so intelligent and very entertaining. Glad he came out of his shell with that post fight interview!

I've been watching moicano fight for years but I just now in this very moment became a fan!!

[@brandonmiles8174]

Loved watching this guy for quite a while, I'm glad he's growing comfortable in his skin and language skills. Let's go Moicano!

[@enjoisk8a911]

Learning english from COD would explain the f bomb every other word. But in all seriousness its honestly so cool seeing people learn English and see their personalities come to life

[@elcafedeisabel]

That's the way, Renato! Always rooting for him, I'm happy he learnt english so fast.

[@bmoredrew4724]

That interview was legendary!!!

What a genius how he answered about his pay..good luck on all your future fights lfg

[@jaker.3527]

What a great personality. Epic speech. Stole the show. Looking forward to more from Moicano.

[@jimcotter3780]

Moicano needs to make a youtube channel!!!

[@OficialCarva]

He's a really good friend of mine. He has a twitch channel and streams there sometimes... although in portuguese.. he said he wants to get back on it twitch @ renatomoicanomma

[@choochthepooch4427]

Definitely a fan of this guy, great interview.

[@TheJUIJUIJOJ]

Coming from the podcast just to drop a like on the best interview of the year!

[@Raghuveer2798]

What an amazing guy.

[@LexusTheArtist]

Good on Moicano for opening up and doing the work to learn English pretty damn good too. Also great advice from Ariel to insist he continues the 3rd person thing I think it would be a huge for him if the audience were to latch on to that shtick.

[@AP-nm9ld]

I always knew he was in the ufc but now I know he’s a star in the ufc 😂

[@fhg1066]

Great interview

[@vixantenna]

Renato, you're doing it the right way my man! Rooting for you! VAMO!

Love this guy! So glad to finally see him get some shine. He’s been a killer for a while and only lost to some of the best fighters. Underrated too long.

[@cambo6911]

I love this guy's laugh it's infectious, great personality, great fighter

[@chilenskbjorn8737]

Renato ´´f-bomb´´ Moicano, what a personality, super shiny and fun to hear. I loved the story behind his nickname and the bet with his dad at 10. Give him the money Dana, and a big fight in Brazil.

[@dipsetUWS]

That was amazing

[@wagonet]

Love this

[@scaryperry19]

This guy exudes positivity as a person, a fighter and someone who wants to get better in everything he does. Whether it be learning English, taking big/last minute fights or just wanting to be in the conversation. Respect Renato!!!

became a fan of his after the heart he showed in the RDA fight and that performance and post-fight speech really elevated him for me even further can't wait to see where he goes from here

[@Zen-Champ]

kind of want to see an RDA rematch with a full camp though

[@MuaikThaison]

being removed from the rankings after a win in another division is crazy i’m surprised he isn’t more pissed off about that

[@boogalo781]

Great interview. Renato is a hilarious dude
